Insurance benefits for owner-customers

Being an OP cooperative bank owner-customer is a good idea: you will receive insurance policies that secure your life at a lower cast thanks to discounts and OP bonuses to which you are entitled.

  1. Lower insurance premiums thanks to OP bonuses
  2. Up to 250-euro deductible benefit for home insurance
  3. Free 50% increase in the sum insured of your life insurance

 

Lower insurance premiums thanks to OP bonuses

When you are an owner-customer, OP bonuses that you have accumulated will be used to pay your insurance premiums. Bonuses are earned from OP cooperative bank home loans, mutual funds and funds in savings accounts, for example.

You will get 30% more OP bonuses in 2023. In 2024, OP bonuses will be more generous – even above 40% more than normal.

Up to 250-euro deductible benefit for home insurance

As an owner-customer, you get a deductible benefit of up to 250 euros on Pohjola Home Insurance.

Your deductible is waived or reduced when your property suffers damage covered under Pohjola Home Insurance due to fire, natural phenomena or theft, and the compensation paid exceeds the deductible you selected.

The benefit also applies to family members living in the same household, if you are an OP cooperative bank owner-customer.

Free 50% increase in the sum insured of your life insurance

As an OP cooperative bank owner-customer, you get a free 50 % increase in the sum insured under life insurance.

Life insurance will help your loved ones financially if you die due to an illness or injury. In such a case, we will pay your beneficiaries 50 % higher compensation.

The percentage increase will be confirmed annually and be effective for one year at a time.

As an owner-customer, you also always get the following benefits

  1. A 2.5% discount when paying your insurance bill in one instalment
  2. Free NewLife insurance for parents of children under the age of 1
  3. A permanent 5% discount on life insurance purchased online
  4. Separately purchased continuous travel insurance valid until you reach the age of 100

All owner-customer benefits will be available to you from the moment you join. You can easily check whether you are already an owner-customer.

By also becoming a Pohjola Insurance prime customer, you get access to even more benefits

As a Pohjola Insurance prime customer, you get a 7% discount on almost all home and family policies. If you are between 18 and 27 years of age, a 21% discount on the above types of insurance. 

If you are both an OP cooperative bank owner-customer and a Pohjola prime customer, you get an additional 3% discount on insurance premiums. Depending on your age, your total discount on insurance for home and family can be 10% or up to 24%. 

The insurance discounts are determined on the basis of your customer relationship and the total number of your policies. When you have policies from three different categories, you get a 7% discount on

  • home and other property insurance,
  • personal insurance (not including life insurance),
  • continuous travel insurance and
  • voluntary motor insurance, in other words comprehensive motor vehicle insurance.

As an owner-customer, you will get a further 3% off most insurance policies for a total discount of about 10%.

The insurance categories are:

  1. Motor liability insurances: Statutory motor liability insurance
  2. Comprehensive motor vehicle insurances: Voluntary motor insurances
  3. Personal insurances: Health insurance for adults, children or unborn children, and disability and living allowance insurances (discount not applicable to life insurances)
  4. Continuous travel insurances: Continuous traveller’s insurance and luggage insurance
  5. Property insurances: Home insurance, valuables insurance, animal insurance, boat insurance, forest insurance


As an insurance customer of 18 to 27 years of age, you get a 21% discount on almost all insurance policies for home and family.

If you are an owner-customer aged 70 or above, you are entitled to discounts on only two policies, such as home and health insurance.

NewLife is a life insurance of 20,000 euros for parents of children under 12 months in the event of the parent’s death. This gives the surviving parent a better chance to carry on or to provide for the child’s education, for example.

We offer NewLife insurance to both parents separately for the next 12 months of the child’s life for free. After this, the insurance will continue automatically subject to a premium.

You can take out the policy soon after the baby is born until the child turns 1 year. The policy does not require completing a health declaration form. The insurance is issued by OP Life Assurance Company Ltd.

If you are an OP cooperative bank owner-customer or Pohjola Insurance prime customer, you will receive a free 50% increase in the amount of insurance compensation. The rate of the increase will be confirmed every year and is valid for one year at a time.

Life insurance will help your loved ones financially if you die due to illness or injury. When determining compensation, we will pay your beneficiaries compensation with a 50% increase. For example, if the benefit to be paid under life insurance is 20,000 euros, we will pay your beneficiaries 30,000 euros. You can take out life insurance either as single or joint cover with your loved one. The insurance is issued by OP Life Assurance Company Ltd.

As an OP cooperative bank owner-customer, you get a deductible benefit of up to 250 euros on MyHome Insurance.

Your deductible is waived or reduced when your property suffers damage covered under MyHome Insurance due to fire, natural phenomena or theft and the compensation paid exceeds the deductible you have selected.

For example, if a bicycle worth 600 euros is stolen and your deductible is 250 euros, you pay no deductible thanks to the deductible benefit. In the same situation, if your deductible is 500 euros, you pay just 250 euros (500 – 250) thanks to the deductible benefit.
